Taking the Pain Out of Putting Practice

Saturday March 14, 2009
You head to the practice green to work on putting. But after just a little bit of practice, your back starts to hurt. After a little more, your neck is getting sore. All that bending over takes its toll, and the aches and pains of a practice putting session can dissuade some golfers from putting in extra time on their putting.

Just like with the long game, it is important to warm up before working on your putting. And there are even some simple stretches or activities you can do during your putting session - and after it - that can help your body handle the strains.

Check out an article about exercises to make putting practice less painful.
